Abstract
Technical and Vocation Education and Training
Institutions in Kenya have persistently encountered a number of
obstacles, including graduate employability, curriculum quality,
low enrollment rates, and inefficient use of available resources.
Despite the increase in the number of students pursuing higher
education, the performance of these institutions has not improved.
The modern business climate necessitates those businesses,
especially TVET institutions, recognize and harness their strategic
competencies in order to compete successfully and improve their
performance. These institutions must capitalize on their talents
and strategic initiatives to obtain a competitive edge. This study
seeks to study the influence of strategic initiatives and
performance of TVET institutions. Specifically, this study seeks
to investigate the effect of staffing, learning resources, knowledge
management and innovation on performance of TVET institutions
in Kiambu County, Kenya. The research was grounded in the
resource-based perspective and supported by the dynamic
capabilities’ theory, Michael Porter's generic theory, and the
strategic leadership theory. The research employed a descriptive
design. The sample size was 268 respondents, with three TVET
institutions in Kiambu County serving as the target population.
The researcher acquired the sample using stratified and purposive
sampling techniques. Using a semi-structured questionnaire,
primary data were collected. Using descriptive and inferential
statistics, quantitative data were analyzed and displayed in figures
and tables. The study contributes to knowledge by filling
identified contextual, empirical, and conceptual gaps in the
existing literature. The study concluded that strategic interventions
will enhance performance of TVET institutions.
